! THE piggy bank has a good
purpose: To encourage the young
child to save. The toddler, on re-
ceiving a few pennies or nickels,
may like to drop them into this
bank. But the average piggy bank
is so made that a youngster can
soon get coins out of it and play
with them. Often an older child
is tempted to rob the piggy bank
of his little brother or sister. He
may break it on purpose. Worse
still, the youngster's parents may
rob his piggy bank to pay the
baker, milk man, or to fill the
missionary envelope.
A good bank for a young child
is one made of metal, not easily
broken, from which coins can’t
be taken except when this bank
is unlocked at the commercial

As soon as your tot begins to
buy something for himself with ..
a nickel or dime you should be-
gin to train him to have such
amounts only at regular inter-
vals, as of a week. Then, if you can
induce him to save the nickel he
receives this week to put with
the nickel he will receive next
week in order to buy a cherished
object for a dime, this child will
have taken the first big step at
learning to handle money wisely.
And see the moral value from
such experience. But if someone
supplements irregularly the reg-
ular amount of money this child
receives, the desired training has
been impaired.
